Progress in Application of Hybrid Numerical Simulation Methods to Magnetic Confinement Systems. Period Covered: March-October 1979

摘要

Hybrid codes developed to simulate high density, high- beta plasmas have been applied primarily to heating, ignition, and burn of linear reactor systems and to current profile steepening and related stability changes in tokamaks. Some code development has also been done to incorporate Monte Carlo alpha transport and to make it possible to treat rotation and rotational instability in compact tori and linear systems. Also, analytic expressions for temperature profiles and heat loss caused by thermal conduction in compact tori have been obtained. (ERA citation 05:017182)
